Bib tights and calls of nature

[Dec66]

How do you reach that when it's covered by a jersey and a jacket?

Practice.

Try it on a crowded train full of unsuspecting bra wearers in winter. Hopefully you'll master the technique before you earn a restraining order.

Ban them. It is pure vanity to not want your bum crack on display.

More about pulling the spare tyres in for me these days.

Not many secluded hedges in SW London either

Some hedges are not as secluded as they appear. I stopped for a pee behind one near Harwich once and it wasn't until the end of the procedings that I noticed the camera put in the hedge to catch fly tippers.

This is the very reason why I steer clear of bibs, in favour of shorts and leg warmers

Isn't it funny how nobody can truly tell the front of a tree from the back, until they have to pee ?

If you are going to a cafe I cant see you having a problem with a bib, I'd get some for the winter I think they do keep your back warmer than waist tights in the winter.

They look horrific on me. I don't have an issue with a cold back, probably as I don't ride in anything below 5 deg

Can't be doing with faffing about removing clothes

I'm not a plumber, my crack stops well below my waist line.

Everybody's does. It's when your trousers do, too, that the issue arises.

Assuming you're male just lift the strap off your shoulders and its easy to let it out If you're female apologies, you probably don't want that image

I have a lower back butt too. Supposedly it indicates a high risk of diabetes.

I don't know what the problem is. I ensure the equipment is tucked down the leg of the tights so the nozzle appears down by my ankle, making the task very simple. I don't understand why all blokes don't do the same.

We don't have legs like yours.

Is it just me or is there a fundamental design flaw with bib tights? Am I the only rider who during a ride in the cold faces the tricky procedure for taking an outdoor pee whilst wearing these stupid garments? Maybe this is why so many winter cyclists seem obsessed with cafe stops?

Why can't bib tights be designed to facilitate this? I am wondering how to modify the braces on my worst offending, high waisted bib tights to avoid having to strip upper layers. Other than deliberately dehydrating, going to cafes, stripping half naked, peeing in the tights or getting a catheter is there a solution I am missing?

I don't have a problem. My shorts are stretchy enough to pull down, and if I bend over as well, free flow is easy.

 

[Cronorider]

Maybe you could buy shorts that actually stretch? Lean forward, pull front down, no problem.

Sounds like I need to shop around - the waist on my BTwin warm winter tights is too high for a bend forwards siphon python manouvre. Have never had the problem with shorts as I have never bothered with the bib variety
